摘要:
A method of scheduling transmitting and receiving communication slots for co-located radio devices is provided. A Bluetooth (BT) device first synchronizes its communication time slots with a co-located radio module, and then obtains the traffic pattern of the co-located radio module. Based on the traffic pattern, the BT device selectively skips one or more TX or RX time slots to avoid data transmission or reception in certain time slots and thereby reducing interference with the co-located radio module. In addition, the BT device generates a co-located coexistence (CLC) bitmap and transmits the CLC bitmap to its peer BT device such that the peer BT device can also skip data transmission or reception in certain time slots affected by the co-located radio module. The skipped time slots are disabled for TX or RX operation to prevent interference and to achieve more energy saving.

A wireless communication device is provided with a first radio module and a second radio module inside. The first radio module performs wireless transceiving according to a plurality of first traffic patterns which each indicates allocations of a plurality of first slots for a plurality of forthcoming transmitting or receiving operations, respectively. The second radio module determines an indicator indicating at least one of a plurality of second traffic patterns which each indicates allocations of a plurality of second slots for a plurality of forthcoming transmitting or receiving operations, respectively. Particularly, one or more allocations of the second slots are selectively determined according to the first traffic patterns. Also, the second radio module transmits the indicator to a peer communication device, so that the peer communication device performs transmitting or receiving operations according to the indicator.

A mobile communications device is provided. A first radio module communicates with a communications device in compliance with a first protocol. A second radio module communicates with a base station in compliance with a second protocol. A CLC radio manager receives a traffic pattern from the first radio module indicating a first traffic allocation for the first radio module, obtains timing information of the base station, obtains a native reference clock from a clock source, converts values of the traffic pattern into the native reference clock counts, aligns the converted traffic pattern with the timing information of the base station, generates one or more CLC bitmaps for the first radio module by converting the aligned traffic pattern into a plurality of WiMAX frames or sub-frames of the timing information, and transmits the generated CLC bitmaps to the base station to recommend a second traffic allocation of the frames or sub-frames.

The invention provides a mobile communication device having a Packet Traffic Arbitrator (PTA) module and a first wireless communication module, coupled to the PTA module via only one wire and configured to perform a first wireless transceiving. The first wireless communication module sends a first request indicating a remaining period of time for a second wireless communication module to use to the PTA module via the wire, and receives, via the wire, a first response indicating whether the first request has been accepted.
摘要:
An apparatus includes a first and a second wireless communication modules and a packet traffic arbitration (PTA) module. The first wireless communication module issues a first request for a first transmission or reception operation in a first time period, wherein the first request includes information regarding a first power level for performing the first TX or RX operation. The second wireless communication module issues a second request for a second TX or RX operation in a second time period, wherein the second request includes information regarding a second power level for performing the second TX or RX operation. The packet traffic arbitration module receives the first request and the second request, and grants one or both of the first request and the second request according to the first power level and the second power level when the first time period is overlapped with the second time period.

摘要:
A wireless device having a central control entity that coordinates multiple radio transceivers co-located within the same device platform to mitigate coexistence interference. The wireless device comprises an LTE transceiver, a WiFi transceiver, a BT transceiver, or a GNSS receiver. In one embodiment, the central control entity receives radio signal information from the transceivers and determines control information. The control information is used to trigger FDM solution such that the transceivers operate in designated frequency channels to mitigate co-existence interference. In another embodiment, the central control entity receives traffic and scheduling information from the transceivers and determines control information. The control information is used to trigger TDM solution such that the transceivers are scheduled for transmitting or receiving radio signals over specific time duration to mitigate co-existence interference. In yet another embodiment, power control solution is used to mitigate coexistence interference.

摘要:
An apparatus (and related method) coordinates wireless communication operations for coexisted wireless communication modules. The apparatus includes a packet traffic arbitration (PTA) module coupled between a first wireless communication module and a second wireless communication module, granting the first request requesting for a first wireless communication operation with a first priority in a first time period from the first wireless communication module, receiving a second request requesting for a second wireless communication operation with a second priority from the second wireless communication module when the granted first wireless communication operation is not finished. In operation, the first wireless communication operation interferes with the second wireless communication operation, the PTA module granting the second request and informing the first wireless communication module to take back the granted first request when the second priority is higher than the first priority.
